Hissing sound coming from tweeters


Right now I'm experiencing a hissing noise coming from the tweeters on my Klipsch RF7II's, and can't figure out what is causing the noise. It's almost like a white noise that is there when the amplifiers are powered on and is not affected by changes in volume.

My system consists of an Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player, Ayre K-5xe preamp, and two Emotiva UPA-1 mono blocks. My cables are Audioquest King Cobra and Audioquest Emeralds. I would greatly appreciate any help resolving this problem. The hissing sound is very annoying. Thanks.

I was going to say that johnk really was listening to the sound of silence at 106db sound level until I realized it was the efficiency rating of the speakers and not the sound level.
Try turning off everything but the amps and see if you still have it; if you do it is the amps. If not turn on the other components in order and see when you get it.
